Freud vs. his Ego
Monster Theatre is back for its 10th Winnipeg Fringe, taking a stab at yet another historical icon.
Sigmund Freud (Gladstone) is catapulted, under mysterious circumstances, into a place where nothing makes sense—his own mind. His only guide (Horak) is his own unconscious, “Ego”, whose intentions, it would seem, are none too pure!!
Freud is in a mad race against time to uncover the truth of his past, his theories, and his mind itself.

JESUS CHRIST: The Lost Years
In the bible, there is a plot-hole... We see Jesus at the age of
13 teaching with the Rabbis in the Synagogue, then he disappears from
record until we find him 18 years later wandering in the desert. No
one knows what happened to Jesus during these so-called 'Lost Years'... until
now!
Our story begins with the fateful day when Jesus comes
home from school and asks his mother that quintessential adolescent
question - "Mom? Why am I different from all the other kids?" And
it is here, at the onset of manhood Jesus learns the shocking
truth - "Joseph isn't you real father!"
Join Jesus on an incredible quest to
find his father, his own true identity and the meaning of life! Before
it is over Jesus meets Judas and Mary Magdalene, comes to understand
his strange powers, battles gods, wrestles with Monsters and gets taken
on a trip around the universe. There are plenty of surprises awaiting
you in JESUS CHRIST: The Lost Years!

Napoleon's Secret Diary
What if Napoleon was the accident of history? Napoleon the most written
about person in the history of the world, the man at whose feet Europe
trembled, who tamed the wild Creole Josephine, who led the largest army
to ever walk the face of the earth, who faced international coalitions,
the man who invented canned food! Imagine him, the Diminutive Dictator
as a Low-status, Bumbling Fool. A sort of cross between Bob Newhart
and Inspector Clouseau!
